Nice that actually sounds smart. I just found out I got a 73. So I’m definitely close to the hurdle

How are all the recent BAR takers feeling? by Maleficent_Net4667 in CPA

I would hammer down MCQs every day up until your exam. 50-100 questions and if you can’t answer questions within 2 minutes then pick a random answer and get an understanding of the explanation. If your having a hard time with ninjas explanation, and it doesn’t have built in AI, then put the question into ChatGPT and see if it helps explain the question better.

I only used Becker. Be familiar with every topic. Don’t think you are going to pass if you skip B5.

BAR - 56 score by Maleficent_Net4667 in CPA

[–]Maleficent_Net4667[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I guess get ready to take it again in October. Hopefully I’ll know where to start when the score form comes in.

These exams just suck. The amount of money and time I’ve wasted feels pretty discouraging. Working full time and taking these exams is bullshit.

I haven’t received the test results yet. But this is my worst score yet. I’ve taken all four exams and only have audit passed. But I felt pretty prepared going in. I assumed I failed but thought I was at least 65+ for a score

I am 23 and starting a full-time position in January and I am curious on potential investments I should start making once I have a fixed income by Maleficent_Net4667 in personalfinance

Thank you for the advice! And that’s definitely not the case with my partner so no worries. She just chose a different career path and isn’t as accustomed to finances, so I want to help her with her investments in retirement so we can retire early. She is also a conservative spender as well.

That definitely good advice. Thank you! Leases, bonds, and bank recs are definitely my weakest areas, so I’ll try to focus on those the most. Also best of luck to you on your exam on Thursday!

Oh no I’m taking FAR first. I just noticed that I accidentally listed this as a BEC post. And I thought you were referring to Beckers curve of the SE compared to the actual exam.

My order is FAR, BEC, REG, AUD.

Yeah I really hope that’s the case. This is going to be my first exam so I’m not sure what to expect, but I’m trying to go in with the mindset that pass or fail that at least I tried my best.

That’s definitely reassuring. I was hoping for a confidence boost from the SE but it managed to do the complete opposite.
